There is a 0% chance that the vast majority of this site and the repo that was linked elsewhere was written by a human. I would have zero confidence in anything about this language, and frankly your former colleague should be embarrassed ab

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying but applications like this tend to be horrible to use. How do you handle somebody navigating in two tabs at once? What about the back button?

If this was enough to temporarily replace breathing I wonder how that would feel if you were otherwise healthy. I imagine not breathing would instinctively feel quite strange and even distressing.

I guess? I would argue that a thought doesn't "capture" anything though, because unlike language it's not a representational tool. A painting of a landscape can capture details of the landscape it's representing.

The sentence is the result of a thought. The sentence in itself does not capture every process that went into producing the sentence.

This is absurd to the point of being comical. Do you really believe that? If an “objective” test purports to show that AI is more creative than humans then I’m sorry but the test is deeply flawed. I don’t even need to look at the methodolog

The combination of anime children, terms like "degeneracy", and crypto shilling is frankly extremely repellant.

The involvement of money does not preclude a work from being considered art. Your claim is cynical and ahistorical.

While I have no opinion on the "holy grail" part, I think them varying massively is the point. A lot of locks require a bit of finesse as well, like pulling the door towards you or pulling the key out just the right amount, which

While I don't disagree, I find that small speakers are dramatically better today than they were even 15 years ago.

I’m in the UK too and you can buy measuring cups here easily. It doesn’t mean “a mug from your cupboard”. It _is_ a volume measurement. I do agree it doesn’t make sense for things that aren’t fluid-like.

Gotta be honest: the AI-ness of both the images and the text in this blog post (as well as your response) leaves a bad taste.

I fed it a pretty short article (~8000 words), and multiple times it said literally the exact opposite of what the article stated or made parts up entirely. I'd suggest reading and understanding whatever you give it because it will alm

I swear I saw a comment or link on HN where somebody bemoaned a lack of innovation in computer interfaces, and provided some suggestions. What MS calls Recall is one of the things they suggested. When I saw Recall being announced I wondered

The quantity of chocolate for sale in bulk certainly is surprising. Unfortunately I find American chocolate to be borderline inedible.

Have you tried buying somewhere in Scotland recently? Nowhere (in cities at least) sells for less than 20% over home report price. You can't get a mortgage for anything over home report price, so a £189,000 (median price) property requ

Boquila trifoliolata appears to mimic surrounding leaves and the mechanism is currently unknown. One (controversial) hypothesis is that it has some sort of vision. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boquila

I can't help but feel like social media companies are desperately trying to "innovate" but long ago ran into the limits of the medium. You have a device which can play sound and display text, images and videos. There's o

I read the Guardian pretty often and I don't really see "basic spelling errors" in articles very often. I've only seen obvious errors in live coverage (the feeds that get updated in real time). It's more understanda

Your experience is obviously an insane outlier, not what the article is talking about, and more a matter for Uber support and/or the legal system.

I think it's extremely easy to argue that the output of Dall-e or Midjourney isn't art. I will concedes that it ultimately comes down to your definition of "art", which is rarely a fruitful argument.
